Today I ordered my chicken strips and I sat down, ate half, as I got up to get a napkin and came back (no more than 30 seconds) a woman had thrown my pop, dirty napkins, fork knife, ketchup, gravy… all into my food, closed the box and sat there looking at me. I confronted her and she just said “too bad you left!” Her son came over. Cursed me out. I complained, the manager on duty and staff took my side and tried to get them to get me another meal, but failing that Costco just gave me a free chicken strips.

I’ve managed to save 300k by living as frugally as possible. My employer has a history of harassing me and many emails and documents later, everything is before the CNESST (I’m in quebec in Canada). I was going to fire within two years. I estimated that I’d collect around another 100-200k; I have an inheritance on the horizon of 800k coming in. With half of that I’d buy a condo for my dad perhaps with a mortgage, the other half I’d add it to my savings. I’m not invested in the market yet either. So that’s my situation.

Work, due to my CNESST complaint is trying their best to get rid of me earlier. Should I just power through things or move to leanFIRE now? Some other things to consider: once on leave I’d collect about 20-25k plus any sort of amounts CNESST would award (hoping for 50ish)

Thanks for reading this far!
